4 More Ways to Search Rapidshare, Megaupload and More!

After the popularity of the first time I talk about some of the search engines for the most popular file hosting solutions out there (such as Rapidshare and Megaupload), we got a demand for people wanting more.  As a man who like to deliver to people what they want, here are five more ways to search these free file hosting solutions.

filefieldnet

FileField.net gives you a ton of tags to start out with, and a pretty simple interface to go by.  There is a search box of course, and the results were pretty easy to figure out.  They say they search rapidshare.com, megaupload.com, sendspace.com, yourfilehost.com, badongo.net, mediafire.com, zshare.net, 4shared.com, depositfiles.co, and milefactory.com.

oplahol

OplaHol.com gets at least the award for the funniest name.  The standard search box interface is there.  What is nice about this one is it also gives you social bookmarking links and video thumbnail previews on the right side.

filecrop

FileCrop.com offers searching for both Megaupload and Rapidshare.  It works a little differently than most.  It spiders pages, looking for links to free file uploads and then adds them to it’s database.

RapidshareData.com is our last one for today.  From the top of the page it lets you choose what type of file you are looking for (audio, video, docs, pictures and more) and then the regular ol’ search box.  Quick and easy to use, but nothing much to separate it from the competition.

Word of warning, some of these links may contain links to adult material.  So as always, be careful what you click and with anything you find Online where you can’t verify the source, be sure to scan the files with your anti-virus to make sure there is nothing bad inside.

Web Host Folders – Volume 1

I felt like doing something a little different this week on the Web Hosting Show.  So instead of your usual podcast – I decided to put my artist cap on and design a few custom folders for a few web hosts out there.

One problem I have run into going from web host to web host is I never have the right folder icon to put all the work I have done for them in one spot.  With these beauties though, that is no longer an issue.

Download Web Host Folders – Volume 1 (.zip)

The web hosts in this collection are:

I have packed inside the zip file both .ico and .png versions of each folder.

These would also be great for web hosts to distribute to their customers, so that the clients of the web host in question have a special icon they can use to decorate their folder they put all their hosting stuff into.  Whatever reason you wish to use it, these are yours to use.  Feel free to share, give away, distribute as you wish.  The only thing I ask for in return is that you subscribe the the Web Hosting Show’s RSS feed.
